First of all, those aren't artifacts from his college years; they're exams he gave when he was teaching constitutional law at the most selective of the top five conservative law schools.

Second, your repetitions that Obama has been running for president for two years and that there has been insufficient time to vet him are at odds. You might want to think about that.

two years...not enough time...we have barely scratched the surface with palin...we still don't know about obama...two years???

seriously...people laugh when they see two years experience...that is not experience...please...you are kidding right?

there is too much we don't know about obama. two years in the u.s. senate? and two years campaigning...learn to crawl before you even attempt to walk...

Christ, you can be dense. I didn't say he had two years of experience -- he's been in public office much longer than Palin has, for instance. You said he had spent two years of campaigning for the presidency. That's a heck of a lot longer than most people have to be under the big microscope. By contrast, Palin has been in the public eye for two months (during which, I might add, she was found to have violated ethics laws by a mostly Republican panel and she faced at least two other ethics complaints). Are you seriously suggesting that Palin has been better vetted than Obama? She didn't even go through a press conference, let alone a primary. Give it up, seriously.

I guess you might not agree with the notion that the constitution is a 'living document'?

False. The constitution IS a living document. And there is a 'right' way to change it and a 'wrong' way to change it.The right way is the way that the framers intended - through the introduction of new amendments. The wrong way is the way liberals have always tried to change it - the easier way - by having judges alter the constitution.

It's funny, all the 'smart folks' here with backgrounds in law seem to be perfectly okay to hand over the power of the legislature to the judiciary branch, fully ignoring the intention of the framers.

The truth is, it is far easier to simply have a judge say 'this is what the constitution says' rather than, you know, have legislators legislate what the constitution says. It is far more difficult to introduce a new amendment than it is to stack liberal activist judges on the SCOTUS and have them create new amendments.

So the Politico managed to dig up one harvard law review article. Try to read better, especially lines like this:

"But Obama has never mentioned his law review piece, a demurral that's part of his campaign's broader pattern of rarely volunteering information or documents about the candidate, even when relatively innocuous."

"Obama said that as president, he would run the most open and transparent government in history. He said when he puts together health care legislation, the planning sessions will be carried on C-SPAN."

What transparency? You mean how he refuses to release his medical records, school records, and an unaltered version of his birth certificate?
